I've applied for a refund on Steam explaining that due to this requirement it is essentially money stolen, but I got a negative reply based on a high play time (17 hours, including about half idle because I left the house with it running).

I was hoping the current situation would relax the refund policy to include account-linking based fraud to be part of the ToS, but that probably won't be the case now.
An Asian-owned company in US can easily get 80%+ Asian. Is that "diversity"?

This depends on how you frame. It is not diverse for the company, but it could be in the larger social context.
Putting the same thing in, say, San Francisco can be different from doing the same in Utah.
My skepticism should be quite obvious: I am still posting through an X11 system.

But, Wayland is far and away the best and most serious attempt to replace X, ever, in thirty years and more.

If there is gonna be an X11 replacement, ever, Wayland is the most credible attempt in decades
Am I the only one who doesn’t care about account linking that much? Like, what are they going to steal from me that Google, Meta, Apple, doesn’t have already.

Plus if people wanted to protest, go against PlayStation directly, don't fuck up an indie studio that finally made it after 15+ of releasing games, this decision was made by Sony, not them.

Is it? The order of data on disk tends to be the insertion order. What might get shuffled around is the index for the primary key, but indexes can handle that quite well.

The canonical example is hand gestures and their use in UI elements such as mouse cursors.

More broadly speaking, exposure to different languages can often make you aware of issues that are not familiar to someone who only knows English, such as e.g.: existence of grammatical gender; pluralization that has to deal with more cases than just one/many (e.g. different forms for 2/3/...); the fact that placeholders in a format string may need to be reordered in different locales; drastically different length of text in different languages; the fact that notions such as upper/lowercase are not universal; sequences of letters that are treated as single characters in some languages; etc. Now of course all this applies to non-native speakers as well, but for more "exotic" languages out there it's usually their native speakers who provide such experience.
A quick Google tells me there's a total of 196 countries. So, are we only talking about 6 countries served by PSN or are there radically different definitions of "country" at work here?
Wow. I tested the link after your comment and it was broken for me at that time as well.

So the link really does seem to have flip-flopped between working and non-working a few times.

Sound like some kind of weirdness in the archive.org infrastructure might be causing it.
Yes, and I'd say that was a dark day for the EU as well. Our democracies are now little more than a farce.
> The idea is that it's irresponsible to diffuse the limited amount of effort by launching your own desktop environment project rather than contributing your talents to one of KDE or GNOME.

That's just a different way for some people to complain that someone, somewhere, is having fun that they don't approve of.

> I don't ever see myself using this DE, but the fact that it seems to be one guy's labor of love kind of makes me happy.

Yup. I heartily support these kinds of things. I remember how much flack Terry Davis used to get on the internet, but those flamers have long since been forgotten by history while both he and TempleOS have their own Wikipedia entry.

I still have "Use TempleOS daily for a month" on my bucket list :-/
The claim, based on the reporting I heard, was that it had to do with managing in game abuse. Sony likely has lots of tools to tracking and managing PSN account behavior and banning bad actors.
I did not referred to the funding remark. It is besides the point and immaterial to the discussion.

My point was on the remark that this attack vector is somehow only applicable when projects are starting out. This is false, and insinuating this does a disservice to the community. The attack consists of asking someone for the keys. The projects that are the most vulnerable are those who are already established and have a significant adoption rate but are not actively maintained. We are talking about Colors-like and Faker-like projects. All you need to pull this off is posting one message asking nicely for permissions, post a commit, and make a release.

>In NYC in 2022...

NYC encompasses a large area including Brooklyn, The Bronx and Queens, which have a wide variety of traffic situations.

I'm talking about Midtown Manhattan where the roadways are a grid of wide avenues with synchronized lights and narrow perpendicular streets with slow traffic.

I experience zero close calls with cars, and can time my crossing of the street (jaywalking) quite accurately.

I have to dodge and weave and experience close calls with silent bicycles and high speed electrics all the time.

I said what I have to worry about, and it is bicycles.

(I am completely pro bike; I RIDE BIKES IN THE CITY ALL THE TIME; but I don't scare the bejeezus out of pedestrians; and when I ride "wrong way" (because who is going to go the long way around 2 long blocks and a short to get 1 block so) I am respectful and cede right of way to oncomers)
The IKEA MATÄLSKARE Microwave oven has 4 buttons, I press one to add 30 seconds and another one to cycle through the 4 power settings. That is their mid-range microwave, it has 750 watts of power and the more expensive models seem to have similar controls.

Their low end microwave TILLREDA has two knobs, but I've never used it.
I tried looking at code in Mebinac, and was surprised at how strongly it reminded me of old screenshots of Smalltalk.
I think you're missing the point here. Lots of people bought Helldivers 2 and happen to live in countries like Estonia where it'll no longer be possible to play the game because PS doesn't operate there. Even more people don't have PlayStation accounts and specifically don't want them. They bought the game in good faith and now the terms have been changed on them to something unpalatable.

This shouldn't be possible. If you buy something it should belong to you. It shouldn't be subject to the whims of companies who simply don't care about you.
The ULID spec has the weird "first generate a random number and all successive calls within the same millisecond just increment the previous number by 1", which tries to solve this somewhat at the expense of now needing to lock, making ULID generation sequential within the same process.
Limitations of this method is it won't track exercises where head is stationary, i.e. all the bench/pressing movements.
They’ve always been a farce.
Even that example shows some thought has been put into non-car users.

The road itself is one way for car traffic, but two way for bikes. This likely allows a non-main road cut though for bike traffic.

The pavement (sidewalk) outside the front of the school is double the width and has bollards along it to stop cars parking on the pavement. This slow massively narrows the road to you’ll likely be driving about 20-30mph regardless of the speed limit.

The junction behind the initial street view has a tiny traffic island with a bollard to protect bikes coming the “wrong way” out of the one way road from cars turning into it. Without that cars turning right into it would always cut that corner.

Given the space constraints it’s actually a pretty well designed street.
Most people don't really understand what it is or how completely it destroys your computer's security mechanisms.
You don't need a total order for the locality properties. E.g. a 32bit ms timestamp that overflows every ~50 days + 96bit of entropy will give you the same locality with a much lower collision probability.

That being said, a lot of index types don't care about this kind of locality and might even benefit from higher entropy (randomized algorithms).

Phenomenal answer. No, you don't need it, but if you build something long enough you'll avoid a couple categories of common problems by starting with it (and choose a different set of common problems)
Japan uses railings along major urban streets. They're sometimes bollards with horizontal rails between them. Sometimes decorative fences made from standard components. And sometimes just a standard rolled steel guardrail, even in cities.

That's better than a bollard. It keeps cars off the sidewalk, but a glancing collision won't total the car.

Redwood City is finishing up the bollard project from hell.[1] (The picture shows a similar bollard, not the Redwood City installation.) It's taken a full year to install two moving bollards. There's an underground parking garage under the street, so the bollards can't retract into the ground. So an unusual type of bollard that moves sideways was installed. Even that requires a base about six inches thick, which in turn requires a foundation.
Construction couldn't go down more than a few inches. So about 50 feet of street, paved with decorative blocks, was torn up, raised, re-graded, the prefabricated bollard unit installed, and the vicinity repaved, with new drainage.

There’s a lot of posts about the anticheat and the issues it causes players on the steam forum, dozens if not hundreds a day still. But you’re right; enough people don’t care so the developers do nothing.

Interesting side effect of this has been that it has driven a substantial amount of people to play the game under a Linux distro using Valve’s proton wrapper for Windows emulation (same as is used on Steam Deck) because the anticheat version for Linux doesn’t have the rootkit element.

Conversely most of the cheaters that this system is designed to stop seem to also use Linux, making the entire endeavour pointless from the developer’s side, yet they remain adamant in keeping a system that harms many and doesn’t even prevent cheating anyway…
In the case of not been able to play what you bought legally, I agree, it’s BS. I do remember reading that developers were working on a solution for this.

But my point remains for people screwing up the little guy (Arrowhead Studios).
Right, that's my point. All of these protests have taken one of the two sides. Which has zero chance of resolving this. There aren't any protests pointing the finger at both these groups telling them to figure their shit out.
> That's just a different way for some people to complain that someone, somewhere, is having fun that they don't approve of.

Yep, it ain't their business, period. It's like talking trash on people who like making pottery.
For example NPM will give ownership to a package/module if you just ask support.

If you believe amusement is a disservice to the community then I believe many others disagree.

To clarify your post:

“because one has been a firehose of bullshit that has literally advocates invasion of Ukraine”

How is that different from CNN/BBC/whatever advocating NATO/US invasions in the last half century? (Serbia, Iraq2, Libya, etc). And more recently Gaza.
Well, I don't particularly like sports betting, but it doesn't seem worse than any other form of entertainment. Titanic had a 200 million dollar budget in the 1990s to produce about 444,600 movie frames and a bit of sound. Was that a good use of resources?

Though to come back to the main argument: you seem to be comparing Apples to Oranges here?

So the first thing is: how are those companies making money? That could be via Facebook ads, or via sports betting, etc. The second question is: what are those companies doing with the money. That could be investing in eg training neural nets, or returning it to shareholders.

When you invest money, that's the same as spending resources. That's only worthwhile, when in expectation you get sufficiently more resources out later than you put in now.

In contrast, when you return money to shareholders, no resources have been spend. It's up to the shareholders what they want to do with their 'resource-coupons' (ie their money).

From the point of view of Facebook, dividends vs investment both look like spending money. From the point of view of the economy, the former is a mere transfer of resources, the latter is spending of resources.

(You could argue that it's better in some sense for Mr Zuckerberg to control these resources than for the average investor to have that control. I'm sympathetic to that argument, especially if you carefully state what sense you have in mind.)

> On the whole, which is better? What moves the needle in terms of bringing humanity forward?

Dividends only move money around. They don't move the needle one way or another. It depends on what the shareholders are doing with the money.

Btw, Amazon and Tesla show that 'the markets' can be extraordinarily patient with companies that they believe in. It's just that most managers don't have nearly as much charisma. Anyone can (and does!) say they have great long term plans, but it's hard to tell the charlatans from the true visionaries. So as a safe default, markets often prefer hard-to-fake signs of progress, like dividends.
It's a fantastic game btw
you can wait for tree (or x) PR's passing specified unit tests for functionality and then merge a random one. But this is a luxury (effort wise) for any kind of project.
Yes, we've all heard [0] and probably agreed with the person Mitchell plays, but the cost of bollards is actually really low. I can buy concrete hemispherical bollards for less that $20 a piece. Let's make the total installation cost $50 per bollard. How many bollards does a 7/11 parking need?

There was one coffee chain in the UK which used to sell good enough coffee up to about 2 or 3 years ago. Then one day it was horrible, at every shop. I suspect they decided that so many had drinks where the coffee could hardly be tasted that they may as well give up on good beans.
non-copyleft free-software licenses like the bsd license or the 'mit license' provide plenty of freedom in stallman's sense; you can study, copy, modify, and redistribute what they cover. when you're talking about people who only get wallet freedom, you're talking about free-tier proprietary licenses, shareware, free-for-noncommercial-use licenses, illegally copied software, that kind of thing. and while certainly there are lots of people using tinkercad or pirated windows, obviously those ecosystems don't have the vitality of blender, netbsd, and linux
The fact that individual groups in the Islamist pond engage in constant hate and strife doesn't make them non-brethren. Ideological movements often engage in constant conflict over relatively minor differences. Obsession with purity is common in bigots.

Their important common denominator is "we believe in bringing about submission to Allah at the point of the gun". I would advise any "unbeliever" to stay the hell away from any such group.
I think you can store energy here not just in the gravitational potential energy of the water, but also in the compression of the air. I _think_ this means that you can get away with a smaller cavern than you could for just pumped hydro.

You might think that you'd need a large amount of water to make the energy release work, but I think it works like this. The force of the water on the air/water interface is dependent not on the reservoir volume, but on the weight of the water in the column (which depends only on the height of the shaft).

By digging a very deep shaft, you can have a very large force of water on the interface, and moving that interface an equal distance hence releases more energy than it would with a shorter shaft.

This way, you can store an arbitrary (up to your ability to compress air to a sufficient pressure, dig a deep shaft, and keep everything from blowing up) amount of energy.

I think if you have a 1 square meter cross section of shaft, and the shaft is 1 kilometer deep, then at the bottom the force of the water above is the weight of 1 square meter * 1 kilometer, or 1000 cubic meters of water, or 1 million kg.

The force then is 9.8×10^6 newtons.

Pressure is force/area, or 9.8×10^6 newtons/square meter here (since we have a unit area).

There's a formula for the energy in compressed air, it's... involved. I downloaded an excel file from here: https://ehs.berkeley.edu/publications/calculating-stored-ene...

It says under this pressure, a 1000 cubic meter tank of air at this pressure stores ~5000 KWh.

The one planned in California is supposed to store 4000 MWh, so I guess they have a tank that is ~a million cubic meters.

A water tank of the same size would store ~2700 MWh of energy (e.g., pumping that much water up a 1KM shaft requires that much energy), so it does seem to be more efficient.

It may also be that hot air turbines are cheaper and easier to maintain than hydropower turbines, but I'm not certain.
So good news; the journey of Helldivers 2 has been a beacon of positivity in a very bleak landscape of online gaming, and the entire community got Sony to back down in record time.

Their success is proof that if you care for your game and your players first of all, and not micro transactions or "spreading the message", you can truly create something special.

To see the community come together for the Major Orders (HD2 rewards everyone if e.g. key planets are taken, creating a sense of urgency rarely seen) has been great.

To me, this created the force that came to play this weekend as everyone united in support of those who had no possible way of creating a PSN account - by putting pressure on Sony in any way possible.

The Devs recommended updating the reviews and submitting refund requests as a valid way of voicing discontent - so we did. Also, Pilestedt/ Arrowhead took full and complete ownership over missteps around the requirements. This transparency was refreshing to see!

It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for the reviews to be updated in the days ahead. The victory will only make the community stronger!
Someone else mentioned garmin has the feature, but it's finicky enough that for me it's just easier to write on phone. Sometimes I wish there was a casio calculator watch for logging/syncing lifts.
Again, I'm not a Palestinian-Israeli. I'm sure some share that attitude, but considering that many have families that are "on the other side of the border", I think there's quite a few that do want one unified country with everyone having voting rights. It's been argued for quite eloquently by several very prominent Palestinian voices, too (not necessarily Palestinian-Israeli voices).
I sit on the board of my country's bicycle association, and work on getting more safe cycle roads. On these public hearings for new infra, someone always tries to counter building anything cycling related with "but there are no cyclists here today, build more car lanes instead".

A common retort is that bridges aren't built where most people swim across the river. It's a chicken and egg problem, and you are absolutely correct in what you address.

To use a popular HN quote: build it and they will come.

I’m not arguing for or against bollards, I’m specifically addressing the following claim:

This is plainly incorrect, as Sweden and the Netherlands demonstrate.
Software Testing Day
That is a utilitarian argument, but did you really think it through?

If you drive a car, you increase the risk of cyclists and pedestrians to get hurt or killed. Hurting or killing pedestrians also harms the society in several ways. Tax the car sales appropriately to the risk imposed on individuals and the society and you have enough money for bollards.
These are complex solutions, not complex problems, though.
The death knell of MS's mobile ambitions came when the iPhone was released mid 2007. Windows Phone 7 launched end of 2010 as an unholy abomination based on Windows CE and a Zune-based interface, which created a whole generation of phones that would be unsupported by the NT-based Windows Phone 8 (released 2 years later), which is what they should've released in the first place.

No.

There can be regulatory bodies, which ideally should be self governing the media instead of executive of the elected government, which regulate some of the media attributes. But a blanket ban on a media house, for criticism in the name of national security? No. That is the failure of the civilian leadership to provide the security to the nation.
